Every single candidate Trump endorsed lost on November 5, 2025.
The following candidates endorsed by Trump lost primaries for US Senate.
2024 New Jersey Christine Serrano Glassner
2024 Utah Trent Staggs
2022 Missouri Eric Greitens
2018 West Virginia Evan Jenkins

Keep in mind, Trump typically doesn't endorse people until it appears they are likely to win. Despite that, since 2017, only 60% of Trump endorsees have won their elections.
